I'm a professional illustrator, artist, and technologist with a background in Information Technology with a condition called "Hydrocephalus" which means, like Roald Dahl's son, I have had many brain surgeries so am neurodivergent but I think this allows me to see the world a little differently.

 

My academic credentials (having just attained a 2:1 BA (Hons) degree) and creative passions converge in his artwork, where I attempt to seamlessly integrate digital art with the rich tapestry of the world around him. I also specialise in digital portraits and capturing unique, often quirky and witty scenes to reflect my distinctive perspective.

​

Based in Southampton, I'm an avid explorer of both my local environment and the broader world, seeking inspiration in the vibrant atmospheres of coffee shops and the subtle nuances of everyday life. I am particularly drawn to editorial illustration, a field where he believes his skills and interests can deeply engage with narrative and thematic elements. I have worked on briefs for:

• Scribbler cards,

• The Association of Illustrators

• Plum Agency

amongst others.
